"I think musicals can do that. They open up people’s hearts. All of a sudden you see this person, you care about them. Wouldn’t that change our world if people really cared about indigenous people?”– Corey Payette in interview with Andrea Warner, The Georgia Straight

Moderated post show discussions will take place after every performance.

SYNOPSIS

“Children of God is must-see theatre for Canadians” – The Globe And Mail

In this stirring, powerful musical, the children of an Oji-Cree family are taken away to a residential school in Northern Ontario. A haunting story of redemption for a mother who was never let past the school’s gate, and for her kids, who never knew she came; Children of God offers a thrilling blend of ancient traditions and contemporary realities, celebrating resilience and the power of the Indigenous cultural spirit.
